Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers were in friendly action today and Ibrox striker Greg Stewart netted a brace for the Light Blues.
A number of Glasgow Rangers fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the Ibrox club’s mid-season friendly in Dubai and Greg Stewart’s display for Steven Gerrard’s side earned plenty of plaudits.
Gerrard played two entirely different Rangers line-ups in each half of the meeting with Lokomotiv Tashkent at the Sevens Stadium, with Stewart taking his place in the second period after the Light Blues had gone into a 2-0 lead.
Goals from Jermain Defoe and Sheyi Ojo gave the Ibrox side a healthy advantage against the champions of Uzbekistan at the break before the Gers turned the screw after the interval, with Stewart helping himself to a brace.
The 29-year-old has very much been a fringe player this season, with 17 appearances in all competitions and 12 in the Scottish Premiership – just three of those being starts (Transfermarkt) – but when called upon he has done well, with three goals and three assists from his dozen league games.
This was the case today as well, a well-taken penalty from Stewart making it 5-1 before adding a second in the closing stages of the game – and plenty of Bears loved what they saw from the 2019 summer signing, making their feelings known on social media:
